Evaporation is dependent on a variety of environmental and pool related conditions, (wind, water temp, dew point, barometric pressure, and other to a lesser extent). Because of this the evaporation rate can vary greatly from day to day and even pool to pool. Before becoming too concerned about a leak you can do a simple test to determine if water loss in your swimming pool is due to a leak or is just evaporation. This simple test is called the bucket test.

Bucket Test Procedure:

1 • Bring the pool water to its normal level

2 • Fill an empty bucket with pool water to about one
inch from the top of bucket. (By filling the bucket
close to the top you are ensuring that air movement
over the surface of the bucket will similar to that of
the pool.)

3 • Place the bucket on the first or second step of the
pool. To keep it from floating away it may be
necessary to place a few bricks or rocks into the
bucket. (By placing the bucket in the pool water you
are ensuring that the water temperature of each will
be similar).

4 • Mark the water level inside the bucket.

5 • Mark the water level of the pool on the outside of
the bucket, on the pool wall, or skimmer face plate.

6 • Operate the pool for 24 hours as it had been
operated when a leak was first suspected.
After 24 hours, compare the two levels. If the pool
water (outside mark) goes down more than the
inside water level, there is probably a leak.

Is Your Pool Drain Safe?

In compliance with the new Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act which was put in place to enhance the safety of swimming pools, spas and hot tubs. This Act sets federal mandate that suction and entrapment devices be changed to become in compliance with the new Act.

This includes new pool drain covers in addition to many other changes and requirements that must be met under penalty of the law. Hayward is one of those companies that take your safety seriously. They have complied and are putting out their new safety products for residential and commercial pool safety.

What does the Federal Law Require Of Pool Main Drains?

All main drains covers must meet with the ASME A112.19.8-2007. All covers that are on submerged suction outlets including and not limited to equalizer lines must also meet the ASME A112.19.8-2007. The Federal Law requires that the maximum velocity of the across drain may exceed 1.5 fps. All main drains must include a sump meeting dimensional and flow characteristics. All sumps need to provide a minimum distance between the bottom of the cover and the nearest location of the piping that comes into the sump. This must be equal to 1.5 times the diameter of the pipe or it must meet the minimum dimensions established by the covers manufacturer. The cover of the main drains must be secured to the sump. On all Single Main Drains, these requirements must be met. All water facilities must have a safety Vacuum Release System in place, a Suction Limiting Vent System, a Gravity Drainage System, an Unblockable Drain, an Automatic shutoff without a vacuum release.

These main drains must have a drain disablement without the main drain. If facilities have a manual shut off switch and an audible alarm, the Federal Law Systems decree that this is not acceptable. On Multiple Main Drains, all drains must be spaced less than 3 feet apart from the required additional entrapment prevention measurements. All multiple main drains will need a design analysis to assure the hydraulic balance. All of these requirements must be met by December 19, 2008. There may be additional state laws that you must follow so contact your local health jurisdiction to see if any extra steps must be taken.
